Kaiser Foundation Launches Health Reform Source Site

The Kaiser Family Foundation has launched an online gateway providing access to new and comprehensive resources on the health reform law. The Health Reform Source (health reform.kff.org) provides explanations of the basics of the law, in-depth analysis of policy issues in implementation, and quick and easy access to relevant data, studies and developments.

Some initial features of the site include “Health Reform Hits Main Street,” a new animated short movie with three major sections that explain problems in the current healthcare system, shortterm changes that will take place between now and 2014, and major provisions that will take effect in 2014; “The Scan,” a daily feed of easily digestible summaries of the latest research and studies from the foundation and others, as well as official actions and other developments related to the health law; the foundation’s Twitter entries on healthcare reform and links to Kaiser Health News stories; a customizable “Implementation Timeline,” which presents a detailed list of major provisions that can be viewed by year or by topic; and a lot more.
